Question

Stick to Your Guns to stand firm and hold to one's position in the face of opposition; to stand up for your rights no matter what trouble you get into

Accepted Answer

You may be the only kid who thinks we need a longer school day, but I admire the way you stick to your guns. At first this was a command to sailors manning the guns on military boats to stay at their posts even when the boat was besieged by enemies. Later, in the middle 1700s, the saying was extended to include anybody who persisted in holding onto his or her convictions. We usually have a good opinion of people who "stick to their guns," even if we don't always agree with them.
